About
Juan Carlos Moreno is a leading researcher at the intersection of immersive technologies and inclusive robotics, with a primary focus on how virtual and augmented reality can democratize access to complex technical fields. His most-cited work, "Exploiting VR and AR Technologies in Education and Training to Inclusive Robotics" (2021, 7 citations), establishes a critical framework for moving robotics education beyond traditional industrial settings. Moreno argues that as robots transition from rigid production cells into human-centric environments, training must become more accessible and intuitive. His major contribution lies in demonstrating how VR/AR can lower barriers for non-specialists—including students and workers with diverse backgrounds—by providing safe, scalable, and engaging simulation environments. This approach not only enhances skill acquisition but also promotes inclusivity in STEM fields. While his citation count reflects a growing, early-stage impact, Moreno’s work is foundational for a paradigm shift where robotics training is no longer reserved for elite engineers but is available to anyone with a headset. His research is particularly relevant for educators, policymakers, and technologists aiming to build a more diverse future workforce in automation and AI.
